no.

please ask the distributor of the "OpenCascade" software first, then you 
may search for that file:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=libstdc%2B%2B-libc&searchmode=searchword&case=insensitive&version=warty&arch=i386

it's not there. IIRC that one was built by g++-2.95 on system with an 
older glibc. google for libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2, find the file or 
informations how to build it.

an alternative might be to modify the installation scripts of your 
software to use a more recent java version.

no.
